Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2929: Chapter 168: Divine Priest Era_3

The powerful Barbarian Armor also forged formidable Barbarian Soldiers.

Coupled with a unified belief and fearless conviction, the ”Divine Blessing Army” formed from the tribes of Vermilion Bird Mountain reached unprecedented heights in combat power.

Mo Hua, after thousands of years, initiated the largest, most glorious, and farthest-reaching unification war in the divine history of the Great Wilderness.

Later generations would refer to the period starting with the Divine Blessing War and ending with the strange calamity as the ”Era of Divine Blessing” in barbaric history.

At this time, the year the grand divine ceremony was held, and the Divine Blessing War began, was also called the Divine Blessing Year.

Divine Blessing Year, Autumn.

Under the guidance of Mo Hua, the Divine Blessing, the Vermilion Bird Barbarian Soldiers, bearing the name of the Divine Lord, surged forward like a torrent of steel, advancing toward the entire Wildland that survived the famine.

The Barbarian Soldiers under the command of Divine Blessing marched into one Mountain Realm after another, annihilating waves of enemies, conquering tribe after tribe, spreading the renown of the Divine Lord across the barbaric land.

The most influential among them was the Divine Slave Tribe.

Originating as Barbarian Slaves, with humble status, yet after liberation, they possessed the most steadfast faith, the most fearless courage, and the largest numbers and influence.

They donned uniform red Barbarian Armor.

The Barbarian Armor was as red as blood and as flames, creating a fiery landscape over the mountains and fields.

This was the fire of war and also the fire of faith.

This vibrant red fire of faith spread from the east to the west, growing wider with the conquests of the Divine Slave Tribe, eventually engulfing the entire Barbaric Wilderness in flames...

More and more tribes were ignited by this fire.

Either they were reborn from the flames or perished within them.

As the ”fire” burned, more tribes and Mountain Realms were incorporated into the ”Divine Lord’s” territory...

...

This fierce momentum persisted for more than half a year. Bolstered by strong logistics and military power, nearly half of the famine-surrounded Wildland fell into the hands of Mo Hua, the Divine Blessing.

However, the progression eventually had to slow down.

Because despite the great strength of Divine Blessing’s forces, there were still some ”tough nuts” in each Third Grade Mountain Realm that couldn’t be quickly overcome.

These tribal forces were significant, with strong combat power and complicated conflicts, deeply entangled with the Taoist Court Family, especially the Hua family.

They held extreme hostility towards Mo Hua, the Divine Blessing, and their faith was unyielding, leaving them locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Third Grade Lüyou Mountain Realm.

Mo Hua led the Holy Tiger, personally campaigning in the name of Divine Blessing, encountering the greatest obstacle since the expedition began.

Gao Tu Tribe.

The Gao Tu Tribe was a major Third Grade tribe, surviving on poisons, eating toxic plants, and cultivating in Poison Technique, residing in the Cursed Marsh.

This Cursed Marsh was boundless, filled with toxic creatures, blocking Mo Hua’s march.

The Barbarian Cultivators of the Gao Tu Tribe hid within the poisonous marsh, ambushing Mo Hua’s subordinated Vermilion Bird Barbarian Soldiers, causing heavy casualties.

More troublesome was the general of Gao Tu Tribe, who practiced the Hundred Poisonous Snake Skill, hiding in the marsh where almost no one could harm him.

The Cursed Marsh was extremely toxic; normal living beings dared not come into contact.

Let alone killing the general of Gao Tu Tribe within it.

Mo Hua’s Divine Blessing Army was trapped for days in front of the marsh, the crowd at a loss for a solution.

At night, Mo Hua, the Divine Blessing, arrived at a strictly guarded camp tent.

Inside the tent, a massive coffin was placed.

Standing before the coffin, Mo Hua, after a moment, pointed a finger to unlock the Formation on it, and the coffin lid opened accordingly.

Mo Hua’s gaze sharpened, blue light glimmering in his eyes.

At the same time, a massive and ferocious corpse within the coffin opened its eyes in the darkness.

In its hollow black eye sockets flashed a strange, deep azure glow.

On its flesh, draconian azure patterns flickered by, followed by a terrifying, thick breathing sound.

As if the resurrected Taotie was ravenously hungry for ”food”...
